Odnos globalizacije i religije te doprinos religija, posebno kršćanstva, u procesu globalizacije: Dijagnoza i terapija ; The Relationship between Globalization and Religion and the Contribution of Religion, Christianity in particular, in the Globalization Process: Diagnosis and Therapy

Globalizacija i religija u globaliziranom svijetu novog tisućljeća snažno su i sudbinski povezane. Članak obrađuje pojam globalizacije i odnos religije prema njoj. Posebnu pozornost posvećuje vjerskoj različitosti i traženju rješenja u međuvjerskim sukobima. U tom kontekstu osvjetljuje i međureligijski dijalog, djelovanje u vidu mira i pravde te kršćanska ekumenska nastojanja. Društveni nauk Katoličke crkve s bogatim doprinosom katoličkih gibanja na svim kontinentima mijenja sliku globaliziranog svijeta i dokazuje da se sve bolje prelazi od dokumenata k ljudima. Proroštvo religija danas se pokazuje u ponudi ufanja i vizije života utemeljene na drugačijoj osnovi i drugačijim vrjednotama nego što je suvremena ekonomska logika. ; In this new millenium, globalization and religion in our globalized world are connected in a powerful and fateful way. This article deals with the concept of globalization and the relationship of religion toward it. Particular attention is devoted to religious diversity and the search for solutions in intrareligious conflict. In this context the article focuses on interreligious dialogue, activities for peace and justice as well as Christian ecumenical endeavours. The Catholic Church's Social Teaching with its rich contribution to Catholic movements on all continents is changing the face of the globalized world and proving increasingly that its theories can in fact be put into practice. The prophetic aspect of religion today is seen in its contribution of hope and a view of life founded on a different order and values than is contemporary economic logic.
